Staying away from home with a dp who snores

[snoringdilemma]

I wonder if those posters who have a dp who snores (or are the snorer in their relationship themselves), and who have separate bedrooms at home, do when they stay away from home?

Just to give a background, dh and I have not been away on a holiday or break away from home for a long time (due to our autistic sons needs not being compatible with staying away). Our now young adult son attends a residential college for some of the time, and we feel able to go away for a break alone. The problem is dh is a heavy snorer and he has been sleeping the the spare room for some years.

He has had recent investigations for sleep apnoea, which have come back clear, so that's good, but doesn't really help us with sleeping alongside each other as he still snores like a train.

Presumably other couples must have this problem and still stay in hotel rooms together? We really can't afford to book 2 rooms, but are struggling with the idea of a holiday or break where we are both awake most of the night and too tired the next day to enjoy the holiday.

Would be very grateful for any suggestions or tips.

Sorry for the long post, but didn't want to drip feed.

We book Airbnb's that have enough bedrooms to sleep separately! Could cope with one night away at friends or hotel in same room, with ear plugs, but any longer and disrupted sleep would ruin the holiday

Noise cancelling ear buds. The Bose ones are good

IL's always stay somewhere with two rooms. Usually a flat, if it's a hotel then they try to get a family room/adjoining. If they can't MIL doesn't sleep and gets increasingly miserable over the holiday.

Airbnb. I don’t have a snorer, but traveling as a family, we need multiple bedrooms and I never find that Airbnb is significantly more than a hotel room (unless you only stay in Travelodge). We always get a holiday cottage with 3-4 bedrooms and usually spend about £80-90 per night.

Always self-catering, with min of 1 bedroom plus sofabed or z-bed in living room, but ideally at least 2 bedrooms (ideally on different floors )

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions everyone. It seems that the way forward might be getting a bit more creative with the accommodation booking then, such as air bnb's rather than hotels, as it's looking that's what most of you are seeming to do.

I suppose I just wondered if there was something more obvious we were not thinking of, that would still allow us to share a room.

Thanks Sparkletastic for the earbud suggestion as well. Might be worth looking into also!

Thanks again and any more thoughts/suggestions still appreciated.
